I never thought I’d be reduced to the camera in the mirror deal, but my elves were busy. This photo is for my friend C. She hates my Christmas scarf. It’s knit with ribbon yarn, eyelash yarn, and cheap Wal-Mart beads. I love it. The christmas present earrings are from 1986. You want to see a close-up of my gorgeous scarf?

I don’t know why my friend C complains about my scarf. She’s so tacky, she bought me this on clearance.

She said it made her think of me. I guess that means I’m tacky. Yes!!!!!

Here’s the work of my elves.

This is our kid junk tree. I love it.

Look what I found under my tree.

I think that’s a hint from the elves to get back at my Damask Kauni.

The boxes are packed away. The carpet is vacuumed. Dinner is cooking (chicken chili!). The Rockettes are on TV. My tree is gorgeous.

My house looks perfect!

Not!!!!

This is my project for tomorrow. I have to get my knitting stuff under control.

Really…make sure you have a hard copy of that pic! And maybe frame a hard copy twice — once in the knitting area woth a particularly difficult project and one in the laundry room to remind you that ‘this, too, shall pass!’ What fun to have everyone help with the tree! It’s just my DH and I and I do the trees (except he helps me lift the 6 1/2 footer onto the table in front of the window) while he watches westerns this time of year when outside projects hibernate till spring…..
